ASEMA'S BLOODY REIGN OF TERROR CONTINUES! Batman has employed the full force of the Bat-Family to uncover the mystery of the murders that continue across Gotham. But even Batman's most trusted allies have failed at preventing the deaths of young men at the hands of the bloodthirsty Asema. But who is Asema? As the World's Greatest Detective unravels the mystery, he realizes he may not want to know the answer.
A solid issue that has Batman putting his detective skills to work to uncover the connection between Asema and Joe Chill, tracing it back to his father's encounter with Chill years before he was killed. I'm really looking forward to seeing how all of this unfolds, especially with Batman about to confront Scarlett Scott. Read Full Review

Secrets of the past come to light in Batmans latest case. Taylor delivers on a long awaited confrontation with the writing. Janin, Rapmund and Guimares craft a steady dose of drama with each page.

Detective Comics #1095 feels like a huge dose of pain, rage and intrigue to my Bat heart. I can't give too much away, but I can safely say if you think you're excited, wait until you read the issue yourself! Read Full Review
Overall, Detective Comics #1095 is another home run for DC Comics with gorgeous art, sharp writing, compelling character beats and a twisting plot that keeps the reader constantly off balance. Read Full Review
The consistency that Tom Taylor and Mikel Janin have been able to create has become the magic of their creative run thus far. Detective Comics #1095 is a great example of consistency being the key as we see payoffs to various narrative points. Read Full Review
Detective Comics #1095 cements itself as a standout chapter in the arc. Tom Taylor balances high-stakes detective work with the emotional weight of Batman's past, while Mikel Jann and Alex Guimares elevate every scene with striking contrasts and mood-driven palettes. As the story heads toward its conclusion, this issue leaves readers with a mix of intrigue, action, and dramaproving once again that Detective Comics is at its best when it fully embraces the shadows of Gotham and the mind of its greatest detective.

This latest arc of Detective Comics has plenty of drama, and potentially dramatic irony to go with it, but it's questionable whether there's enough substance to fill a story of this length. The same ideas keep being revisited as it crawls towards finally answering the questions raised in the very first issue. Hopefully with all its build-up, whatever ending it arrives at will deliver a satisfying payoff. Read Full Review
Detective Comics #1095 ties up various loose ends and dispels several mysteries, but Tom Taylor's script completes the task in the worst way possible by just handing Batman all the answers. Either Tom Taylor needed to rush through the resolutions to get things moving, or he couldn't figure out how to resolve the mysteries in a satisfying way. Either way, this issue is a dud.

The storyline ratchets up the tension in a gripping chapter that feels like it’s leading to a resolution, while at the same time opening up a new mystery in its final pages after several exciting narrative twists.
I'm still intrigued by this rather long storyline, but in this issue it seems to lose some steam. Even Janin's usually stellar artwork is slacking a bit.
Joe Chill is alive? I thought he was long dead.
